King Fire Update - Hundreds more people have been |

|
18,500 acres overnight. |

Elk Grove Bid for MLS/ Ryan Lillis on Sac's MLS Bid - |
|
Major League Soccer officials will be in town this week |
|
evaluating Sacramento's bid for an expansion team. But |
|
that won't be the only city they'll be visiting. They're |
|
heading to Elk Grove to hear that city's pitch for an MLS |
|
team. |
|
Elk Grove Mayor Gary Davis has said he's willing to |
|
combine bids with Sacramento, but at this point the city |
|
is working on a separate plan to land a professional |
|
soccer team. Joining us to explain what the city has in |
|
the works is Vice Mayor of Elk Grove Jim Cooper. |
|
Support for soccer in Sacramento was made undeniably |
|
clear when fans shattered attendance records during the |
|
first season of the city's lower-division USL Pro soccer |
|
club, The Republic FC. Now, Major League Soccer is paying |
|
attention. MLS executives will be in Sacramento Thursday |
|
and Friday to evaluate the city's bid for a professional |
|
soccer team. There are currently three other cities vying |
|
for a professional franchise - Minneapolis, Las Vegas and |
|
San Antonio- but the group developing the bid, which |
|
includes Sacramento Republic President Warren Smith and |
|
owner Kevin Nagle, are hoping the city's football fan |
|
frenzy and plans to build a soccer stadium will beat the |
|
competition. The Sacramento Bee's Metropolitan Reporter |
|
Ryan Lillis has been following the story closely and |
|
joins us to outline what MLS is looking for in Sacramento |
|
this week. |

|

|
Cultural Center in Fair Oaks through Winter 2015. This |
|
Friday's film begins at 8:00 p.m. and festival organizer |
